Program Overview

Live and study in a charming medieval walled city. Improve your Spanish language skills and intern at banks, governmental bureaus, hospitals, and libraries. Wander the winding streets to discover historical attractions and breathtaking vistas. In your free time, explore the rest of Spain and Europe.

Based at the San Juan de la Penitencia residence, a converted 16th-century convent, this program offers modern learning facilities with spectacular city views and easy access to the downtown area and public transit. In addition to the opportunity to improve Spanish language ability, the program offers a wide range of courses in the humanities, social sciences, and arts.

Located an hour from Madrid, Toledo offers an excellent base from which to explore Spain. Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Toledo is a living museum, a preserved part of Spanish history where people still live, work, and play. A city of approximately 80,000, it offers an environment where you can immerse yourself in Spanish culture through coursework, internships, and daily life.

On scale of 1-10 I would give a very high rating of this program of 9 or 10. It was really great. Through U of MN (Minnesota). The name of the school in Spain is 'Fundacios Ortega y Gasset'. Located in Toledo, Spain. Classes were really good and the location was fantastic.
